Glapwell is a village with a population of approx 1500. It is located either side of the main A617 road between the towns of Chesterfield and Mansfield in north east Derbyshire. The villagel is situated on and on top of a very steep hill adjoining with the next village of Bramley Vale at the bottom. It is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Since the closure of Glapwell Colliery in the 1970s, there has no longer been an overall dominant industry in the area.
